You have a nice kit. I'd like to get a 75/2.5 color heliar for my bessa R, then maybe I would be set.
 
Now that's passion!

Now that's passion!

That's a set with real character that shows considerable thought and decisiveness. It's amazing how many bases (not bessas, ha ha ha, but icons, really) you have covered with just three lenses!

I'm tempted to tell my story, but that's for a different thread.

Very nice! I really like the second shot. The color is fantastic! Is that taken with the ZM Sonnar?

Gorgeous!

Also, have you posted photos of your actual camera in the ZI photo thread? If not you should definately do it! :D
 
Who says the C Sonnar isn't sharp as a tack. The lens must be managed. It has two personalities. One is f4 and wider where it is more soft. Then 5.6 and tighter, it is so sharp. I love both.
 
Hi Akiva, I'm glad to hear you're happy with your kit. You were the first person here to offer advice on my own selection, and it's shaping up a lot like yours - so far one body with a fast 50. Happy shooting.
 
very nice kit akiva: but i do differ with you on your zm lens choice :) if i could only have one zm lens, it would be the 35/2. if i could only have two, it would be the 35/2 and 50/2. but if you allowed me three zms, my kit would add the 25/2,8.

i am guessing that you just don't find much use for a 35? or that is too much of a compromise?
